A reader asked me what book I recommended for learning embroidery. I answered that my favorite book for learning this craft is Reader's Digest COMPLETE GUIDE TO NEEDLEWORK. This comprehensive guide teaches embroidery, needlepoint, knitting, applique, quilting, patchwork, macrame, crochet, rug-making and lacework.
Here are the reasons I recommend this book to beginners and to not so beginners: The layout of this book makes it easy for any beginner to benefit highly from the material. The pictures and descriptions are concise and readable. Each technique has an explanation as well as suggestions as for the use of a particular technique. For example, a Stern Stitch is basically an outline stitch and used for floral patterns. The book defines the best supplies for the craft you will learn. In embroidery, the discussion leans on threads, fabrics, needles and hoops to name a few. The book also takes you on tours of colors and designing. Have you had inspiration to design your own works of art? Then starting with this book is the catalyst for your future in designing. Finally, once you learn a technique, you will get some great ideas from the book on where to use them and how. This book is the best book for learning to embroider or learn any of the other crafts. You can purchase your copy by writing directly to Reader's Digest Association, Inc.; Pleasantville, New York or by checking out finer craft bookstores. The ISBN is: 0-89577-059-8
